How Can I Make My Pc Quieter?

andrescelano · Mar 20, 2016

Hi, I have a i5 2500k with a hyper 212 evo, a Asus P8P67, a Sapphire HD 7950, a Enthoo Pro M Acrylic with both stock fans, a WD Blue HDD and a EVGA 750W PSU. I want to know how I can make my PC quieter. There are quite a bit of fans in it so that is why there is some noise going on as well as my hard drive spinning which causes some noise as well. What are some things I can do to remove sound?

for the fans swap over to newer fluid fans that are four pin pmw fans and a 4 pin fan controlers. set the fans to there slowest speed. for hard drive they make rubber rings and newer trays to keep hard drive spin humming from getting to the case.

Give insides a good clean out with compressed air. A lot of dust build up will make your fans work harder. Other options include installing your fans with rubber fan mounts rather than screws or even replace with new fans altogether. Sound dampening material can be bought for the inside but its quite a lot of work check it out https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-tech-labs-noise-dampening-kit-phanteks-enthoo-pro-m-cm-284-tl.html

I found that after buying my h110i-gtx and putting it on silent which I found plenty too cool my CPU my hole unit seams very quiet now and can concentrate more on the game noise

That kit looks pretty cool man but it is a bit too pricey, one thing tho, I bought my motherboard used so it did not come with a I/O shield so there is just a hole where it should be. Could adding a I/O help reduce noise? Also I have noticed that most of the noise comes from my hard drive, is there any way I can turn off my hard drive when not in use? I use my hard drive only for games so when i am browsing the web i use my SSD.

I/O shields are thin sheet metal, I don't think it would really make a great deal of difference. As smorizio said, you can buy rubber hard drive mounts which decouples the drive from the chassis, reducing vibrations and noise.

To put drives asleep go to: control panel>power options>plan settings>change advance power settings>scroll to "hard drive" and expand. Default time is 20 minutes for the drive to go to sleep but you can set it to your own preference.

Alright i think I found the source of the noise, I believe that it is the Power Supply which is loud. I have a EVGA 750W B2, have you guys heard about it being loud?

What does the noise sound like? and how old is the unit?

andrescelano · Mar 21, 2016

It's like a month old, but I am returning it and getting the gs650

andrescelano :

Good choice. An RMA is about the only option really.
